Michigan, butt out

Have you seen where Lisa Snyder, a woman in Michigan, was helping her neighbors out by watching their kids an hour before they had to get on the bus...for free...and is being faced with fines and up to 90 days in jail because of it? The state of Michigan says she is running an "unlicensed daycare" out of her home because she is helping her friends. I say...shouldn't we have the right to help our friends/be helped without the state's involvement?? What do you think??

I did see an article on this and was totally dumbfounded! They need to clarify the law to include compensation and a time limit. I mean, c'mon! An hour before school starts as a favor...give me a break! Common sense has got to prevail, here.
